The Scotch zephyr ginghamssi and
chambreys brought out this season are
worthy of special mention. The tufted
striped ginghams have the design
woven to closely resemble the silk and
wool strings Of last season, and are
shown in novel and really beautiful
combinations OF color. Tho solid col
ored chambreys and gInghams are dyed
In lovely shades of +, pink, lilac-blue,
corn color. etc., and the embroidered
patterns come in various widths Of

Spring colors in hosiery are unusu-
ally varied, aud in quality are beauti-
fully fine in all grades Of Irregular
made'' goods. In solid co!ors there are
some handsome shades in the colors
rich In tone, and also those delicately
tinted. The dove.gray and heliotrope
dyes are particularly attractive. IN the
line OF fancy hose there are very few
styles that can be said to be strictly
new, yet there are enough departures
from the standard patterns to give
the charm Of novelty to the exhibits.
Indoor toilets are also of simple
style. We notice a young lady's dress
OF gray sicilienn,, the SKIRT Of which is
quite plain; it is plated In full round
plalts al the back and side, and ar
ranged In one wide plait in front. The
bodice is gauged over the shoulders,
whence the fronts come down in full
plaits to the waist. This bodice is very
slightly opened at the throat, and is
trimmed with white lace border con-
ttnued in front down to. the waist;
round waist band, tight plain sleeves,
not coming down much below the
elbow. IIG # @J IiH8 sSFF A57 ~
Spring walking costumes are very
simple. They are generally of some
light cloth or fancy awoolen material
combined with plain silk; for instance,
plain round skirt Of dark brown silk,
over this an upper skirt of beige or.
buff woolen fabric, falling In full hol-
low plaits at the back. open in front,
and slightly draped on each side.
Tlght-attlng jacket.bodlce Of the same
material as the upper-skirt forming a
round basque at the back, and remain
Ing entirely open in front, over a
plated plastron Of beige or buff and
brown striped silk; this plastron over.
hangs a little lower than the waist. it
Is put on at the top to a small piece Of
plain, dark brown silk matching the
underskirt, and finished with small
turned-up collar Of the same material.
Plain sleeves without any revers, but
toned at the wrists with two large but.

Until quite lately 1t was an un.
common thing to see lady wearing a
colored mantle; 1t was, in fact, quite
an exception, and no one would have
thought Of such thing unless it were
for ceremony or to ride In carripe.
Now 1t Is quite different; ladies wear
mantles Of colored cloth, or silk even.
with everyday town toilets. A young
lady frequently wears a redingote Of
silk or cashmere, in medium shades OF,
blue or green: a young married lady
wears mantle Of bay-brown or purple
silk In which to pay har visits. The
dress may be as simple as possible
when the mantle is long, but the man
tie should be stylish, of an, elegant
material, rich coloring and tasteful
trimming Of lace or passementerie.
